Man indicted for manslaughter in death from flying glass in bar
A South Boston man was indicted on manslaughter charges Wednesday in a bizarre incident inside a Boston pub in August that left a New York man dead after he was hit in the neck with flying shards of glass, the district attorney’s office said.
Hector Guardiola, 25, faces one count of manslaughter and two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in the death of Michael DiMaria, 23, of Hicksville, N.Y., on Aug. 14, according to the Suffolk district attorney’s office.
He was held on $100,000 bail.
DiMaria was one of three people struck by flying shards of glass after Guardiola allegedly threw a heavy beer mug at a different man after the two had argued inside The Lansdowne Pub, according to the district attorney’s office. The glass missed the man and broke into pieces, hitting DiMaria in the neck and cutting through his jugular vein.
The two others suffered head and shoulder injuries.
DiMaria, a recent graduate of Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Conn., who worked for a Wall Street firm, was visiting friends in Boston at the time.
Guardiola is expected to be arraigned Nov. 10 in Suffolk Superior Court.
